This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we finally get around to reviewing the much anticipated Fantastic Four Film!  As it has been a few weeks between seeing it, and talking about it here; we decide to go head first in - with no holds back - Full Spoiler Talk!  So please be mindful of that.  Plus; with all the hype around Comic Book movies; we have a fun discussion around which Film did we think, did it best?  Superman or FF4?  Then we take a quick look at the latest news - with a pure focus around the three main Crowdfunding projects, all happening right now.  The HasLab SnowCat which has actually just wrapped up.  Mattel's rather ambitious Snake Lair; with a rather questionable price tag!  Plus the other HasLab project, the Star Wars: Gunner Ship!  This one looks like it needs a huge boost of backers!  Then pivoting back to the Big Screen; we chat about the latest Radical Rewind screening that was: Wayne's World!  From numerous Cosplay fun, to the upcoming hype around the Next Feature Film too!  Then rounding out the ep; we have a quick chat about the incredible 'Weapons' film that sports a perfect mix of Thriller, Horror & Suspense!  This movie has us just buzzing after seeing it!  All this & more; enjoy!!

---------Original Write Up----------

Don't call it a Turtles Reboot! Today on the Toy Power Podcast, as a new era of Ninja Turtles approaches, we look back at the most successful of them all - the TMNT of 2003! It only seems like yesterday these guys were on store shelves but there's so much great stuff to rediscover: The Foot Elite Guard, Hun, Karai, a Shredder who can now stand upright and yes, even Fast Forward. Yeah I said it! We even look at the video game history of this iconic style. Ben also shares his amazing connection to the history of Turtles comics. Trent then tests the boys with a quiz that covers all of fandom. How many did you get right? All this and some of our Latest Scores, is just a click away!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still down a Scot, as he is still unwell.  But that will not slow him down in contributing to this ep!  Before we get into the main segments, we chat about Ben & Frank's latest Plastic Addiction, in the form of Transformers Blokees!  Prior to chatting about the Superman Film itself, we focus on the Toy likeness compared to what the actor actually looks like! With a little Jurassic World banter in between.  Then, without another moment to spare, we get right into the James Gunn driven film itself!  We chat towards our Cinema experiences and start off with a non-spoiler discussion; before we head into a chat about the whole Film itself!  Giving it our typical DVG rating out of 19 too.  Then changing gears, we introduce a New segment - named: Variant Schmariant!  We each pick two variants of a pre-existing character (in toy form) that just doesn't need to exist.  We unearth some quite silly versions of characters that had a legitimate Toy Release; that clearly logic was not a concern at all!!  Plus we tie a nice bow around the proposed Nick-Names for both Frank & Scot.  Enjoy!!

As streamed on our FB page (forgive us, we are old) we went visual to celebrate our 400th episode! The chat went off, prizes were dished out, Davey was in the house (he even brought along Olly), it was all happening! Come see some of our favourite "antique roadshow" toys from across the spectrum. Then we try to trick Davey in a game we call Private Parts. Who do these item belong too? We all have convincing back stories but only one us is the true owner!
